You're right, her nose has not been altered, but her skin tone certainly looks like it has.

The real question though is what does Beyonce's real hair look like? lol. She strikes me as a Diana Ross type-you know someone who can never go natural and will always have to have a full head of weave in well into their 60's and beyond lol.

Beyonce has a nice head of hair.

She usually wears lace front wigs.

Her hair is thinner than a mug, I'ma try to find that pic of her without her wig.

Is she not as light-skinned as one can get though?

I mean, yeah, the tone of her skin looks damn near peach in the ad but,

yaknowmsayin?

Cinnie said:

No there are lots of black folks quite a bit lighter than Bey, damn near white. It looks like they were trynta get her to that point.

Aaight

SCNDLS said:

That sounds like some something from Imitation of Life.



Cinnie, I think you should do some research on the one drop rule or hypodescent to find out why an oxymoron such as a "Black" looking "White" person can exist in the Unites States. The difference between phenotype and genotype, race, white purity and all that stuff.

No, not really. All light-skinned black folks don't long to be white. Many that can pass choose to embrace their blackness instead.

like Foxy Cleopatra?

Scorpion said:

Oh Lawd. That's not her hair. Have you ever worn a good weave? Well, I have for many years and I can pull my hair back just like that. The real hair along the edges is left out to cover up the tracks.

Cinnie said:

double- I have no idea what that meant.

SCNDLS said:

Don't you remember what Beyonce looked like in that Austin Powers movie?

SCNDLS said:

In the second imitation of Life, the Black mother explains that her daughters father was "....near white".

Cinnie said:

Yeah, that's right. I guess I blocked her and her horrible accent out of my mind.

Is Beyonce wearing a weave in this picture?



Also, did she have a nose job?
Her nose looks larger is that picture.

PurpleCharm said:

Yes, that's a weave and yes she had a nose job, so did Kelly. Her mother owned a hair salon in Houston, so Tina knows how to hook up a 'do.

And I ain't mad at them about their nosejobs, cuz I'd be right along with 'em if I wasn't scurred the doctor would fuck my shit up.





Kelly was always the cutest to me, but she's stunning now. . . and the new ta-tas didn't hurt.



And for good measure . . .

I'm sure that in that before photo she'd already had her nose done.

this immedietly came to mind

L'Oreal receives fine in racism case

10-Jul-2007 - L'Oreal has reportedly been found guilty of excluding women of colour from promoting its products, according to press reports.

The Garnier subsidiary of the leading cosmetics giant was last week ordered by a French civil appeals court to pay a fine of €30,000 after it was found guilty of being racially biased when employing staff in 2000, as reported by Reuters.

L'Oreal are allegedly up in arms about the verdict and have stated that Garnier will appeal the case, with the stigma attached to being involved in the case no doubt set to dent the company's reputation in the cosmetics industry.

The case is the first time in French history that a major company has been involved in a legal battle involving racial bias in staff hiring.

Evidence from prosecutors showed that that a fax had been issued by the France based company that any employees should be 'BBR', the initials for bleu, blanc and rouge, which are the colours of the French flag.

To this end prosecutors argued that 'BBR' was a racial shorthand used by extremists in France - singling out white French people and alienating applicants from Arab, Asian or African backgrounds.


Recruitment agency Adecco, the staffing agent involved in the racism claims, and communication firm Aijon were each fined penalties of €30,000 - with an employee of the agency being sentenced to a three-month suspended prison sentence.

Doubt regarding the three companies guilt surrounding the allegations caused a Paris court to dismiss the charges in June last year. However, French prosecutors and a group formed to fight racism appealed the ruling, resulting in the guilty verdict found last week.

With the cosmetics industry being a high profile industry, manufacturers in the industry are sensitive and prone to criticism, with other leading companies being penalised by the courts.

Earlier this year upmarket beauty player Clarins also got caught up in legal proceedings, receiving a €500,000 fine from the French Conseil de la Concurrence (Competition Council) after being found guilty of price-fixing between 1997 and 2007.

The Conseil de la Concurrence began investigating price-fixing of prestige fragrances in France in 1998, culminating in a decision to fine 13 fragrance- and cosmetic-makers, together with three distribution companies that specialized in luxury goods.

In March last year the Commission fined the 13 fragrance brands and three distributors a total of €46.2m after it found them guilty of breaching anti-competition agreements.

Compared to the other fragrance brands involved in the investigation, Clarins fine was far less, reflecting the fact that the investigation deemed its involvement in the price-fixing to be less significant than the others.

Other leading fragrance brands that were fined included Shiseido France, Givenchy, Beaute Prestige, which represents Jean-Paul Gaultier and Issey Miyake, together with Kenzo Parfums.

Not true. Neutrogena has a make-up line. I use some of their products and have for several years.

People here are really acting like this woman is bald

I'm sure she has about as much hair as and average black woman in good health

when you see childhood pictures of her she has long hair

...I know she wears a weave, but uh some of that is hers too

SCNDLS said:

While it's extremely obvious Kelly has had some work done, I don't think Beyonce has.

Makeup can literally do WONDERS these days, same with Halle Berry too.

Plus, Bey and Halle were still teens in those shots, still growing...teen faces are always different to adult faces and again, a simple change in makeup artist can have you looking a whole different way.

But Kelly's face shape has entirely changed

clears throat I think the bigger, natural noses look better on all of them.

thekidsgirl said:

Just for the record I didn't say that she didn't have any hair, just that she wears a weave or wig 99.99% of the time which makes complete sense. Considering how much time she spends performing and in photo shoots, etc. she'd prolly be entirely bald if her real hair was getting "done" and processed that much. It's easier to wear fake hair, wigs, and weaves. Tina Turner and all the girl groups in the 60s did it and nothing's changed since.

purplesweat said:

I dunno. Her nose is aquiline now as opposed to the flatter, wider bridge she had before. The bridge of your nose is not going to change all by itself. Plus, Halle was not a teenager when she did Boomerang and her natural nose is in full effect in that movie.

I don't know about all of them, but Kelly was definitely cuter with her original nose.

Annika said:

I think they all are. I dunno, I'm not pro-plastic surgery unless it's reconstruction after accident or birth defect. Most people look great they way they start out, and even those that don't look great usually look good enough.
